First 20 Minutes of Vaccines: A Measured Response (Patreon)

Hey folks! Here's the first 20 minutes of the video.

This part is largely finished, except for the colour grading, which I'm finally getting someone else to do instead of ruining it all by myself. One thing Kat, my genius producer, has already pointed out while I was uploading this version, was that I describe Brendan Nyhan's study wrong for one sentence and conflate it with a similar but unrelated study, that'll be fixed. There's more things, like tweaking the animations and look of the text a bit, but let me know your thoughts.

The segment after the end of this preview covers the stigma toward autistic people and how terrible views about neurodivergence have helped to fuel the whole issue. A lot of people have reached out to make it clear they find a lot of media covering this topic really glosses over that part of all this, and we really wanted to make sure we did it justice.

The rest of the video gets into territory where we really do need to check every statement is supported directly with factual evidence and contains nothing that could be regarded as hearsay, because people have been sued for less by the figures in this story, so we're really taking our time with it. Thanks so much for your eternal patience.

Normally at this point in the process I'm usually completely disillusioned and not sure if the video is good any more, but honestly, I'm so excited. I'm really happy with the pacing of this one, how we cover relatively complex issues in a timely but not rushed-feeling way. I really hope I can get it out in mid-march, late march at the latest.

Let me know your thoughts!
